I love this stuff...

Subject: Not The Best For Casement

The model they show for sliders didn't work so well on casements. You had to completely remove the window to accomodate the external box (which on these models was huge). Only the Chrysler Airtemp would actually fit casements because there was no part sticking out through the window.

Nice model. But yes...don't touch!

Subject: Can I touch? Please? Let me touch!!

This is a 10 minute advertising promo film for Westinghouse air conditioner salespeople about the brand new models for 1965. Before, the narrator says, you just had a window, and that you werent supposed to touch it! But now, all you 'gatherers of gold'(that would be the Westinghouse salespeople), there's a new line of air conditioners out! (this is when you would say 'woot!' And best of all, we have a ucoordinmating, aloof pretty girl here to twirl around for you !! (this is when you would double woot!)) so, yeah! Now you can touch it all you like! (The air conditioners, NOT the model. Sheesh,)
